IMO, Rory is one of the best presenters in this category. Natural. Informative. Humorous.

[mattarontaylor]

Yup I'm sold, it's obviously better than anything VW is offering

[michaelgriffiths]

These reviews are spot on. Zero waffle, very factual and a great presenter with a great sense of humour. He catches me off guard with his little comments and jokes that make me actually laugh. Well done to the team involved keep it up!

[geraltofrivian]

Probably the coolest looking car on the market. Retro futuristic, absolutely love it

[tj_enju]

"others give you one or the other but this gives you everything"... watching a lot of these hyundai and kia reviews, i think this line should be their sales pitch

[mehVhem]

Damn, the design is absolutely incredible imo! They went a different route than EVERY other manufacturer, and they nailed the retro-modern look!

[superchargedpetrolhead]

This is the best looking EV crossover, heck it is the best looking crossover right now...

[bogdanmihaicazacu]

For a 90's kid that grew up with pixelated video games, the design of the exterior and interior for that matter just makes me tingle inside. Any retro-futuristic, cyberpunk design makes me salivate at the prospect of owning such a car, and I think that's the idea why they went with this. Most of us younger generation that started to afford cars are more interested in quirky designs than classic ones that you see in a Mercedes or BMW. At least that's my theory.

I had it for two days. This is by far the nicest and most relaxing car to drive, it is superb in every aspect. If I had to choose one car for the rest of the life, this would be the one. It is really as good as the reviews say. As for the range, I had RWD 58kWh hour model, and I was slaming it hard on highway, did some normal driving (50/50 mix of slaming to full and highway in 150km/h, and half 130 kmh highway and normal driving), it can easily do 380 kilometers, with 130 km/h on highway.

Walked out of a school I teach at here in Korea and one of these was parked right next to my car. I had to walk around the back to check out what it was. Looks much better in person than the video shows.

[GarethNewman]

It's like the Lancia Delta came back as a big EV (style wise). Love it.

[Lascarnn]

I've chosen this car over TMY and I'm really happy about it. My main points were:
- screen behind the wheel with speedometer and other controls
- HUD
- V2L (to charge electric grill from the car, while camping)
- ventilated seats, adjustable headrest
- better suspension than Tesla, much smoother
- better sound isolation

Acceleration is really fast enough.

hyundai has definetly earned my respect with all of their electric vehicles

[codexciv]

Wow, such high praise! Hyundai has clearly knocked this one out the park. 👏 Great review as always, Rory.

[MrAndreCoutinho]

What a great car and awesome design, huge leap for Hyundai. This is probably the best EV of the year.

[Steve-gcnt]

I've never before so wanted a Hyundai.

[Helios]

The Koreans designs are killing it lately…this, the soul ev, the Tucson damn

[weho_brian]

Rory gives me old top gear vibes. Just a guy who loves cars and is being himself. No script, no fake humor

[Jasonrm]

This car is actually really impressive. Lots of innovation by Hyundai.

Rory - great review as ever, but you missed one of the most important points - the speed of charging. Speed of charge is as critical if not more so than range and this car can take the 350Kw chargers that are being built all over the UK. For long distance driving that's brilliant as it charges in I think 18 minutes from 10% to 80%. As an EV driver I can promise you this is the most significant step forward only previously available in Porshe Taycan or Tesla. Kia EV6 has the same architecture. These 2 brands are leading the way for EVs. Can't wait to see what they bring out in the smaller car sector. But as always the public charger network needs to keep up, which Gridserve thankfully are working hard to achieve.
